Money isn't a major motivating force in my life. Nor is my profession. There are other things that I care more about than being an actor.

Money is not a motivating factor. Money doesn't thrill me or make me play better because there are benefits to being wealthy. I'm just happy with a ball at my feet. My motivation comes from playing the game I love. If I wasn't paid to be a professional footballer I would willingly play for nothing.

When an actor has money he doesn't send letters he sends telegrams.

Then you've got Georgetown and I really just like everything about them. When I went down there with my mom it really opened my eyes to what they were all about. I have to factor in what a school like that can do for me even away from being a basketball player.

Well Mom and Dad are both actors and I've spent a lot of time watching my mom on stage and a lot of time on set with my dad so it was very much a part of my growing up.

So from a very young age my mom tells me that I wanted to be Michael J. Fox. I didn't want to be an actor. I just wanted to be Michael J. Fox for awhile. And then I realized that he was an actor so I pursued that.

My parents were both in show business. My father was an actor my mom an actress and both singers dancers and actors. They met in Los Angeles doing a play together and so I grew up in a show biz family.

I was 3 when I told my mom that I knew what my dharma was and that I wanted to be an actor.

My mom is many times responsible for getting us all together but we trade off at each other's houses. My brother and I are actors and are traveling a lot of our job.

My hero is Michelle Williams who I grew close to when we did 'Meek's Cutoff.' She's an extraordinary actor and mom.

When I was a child I wanted to be an actor but I had really bad buckteeth. I didn't want to get braces but my mom said I couldn't be an actor if I didn't get the braces. So I got the braces.

We were poor. But my mom never accepted that. She worked hard to become a residential contractor - got her master's with honors at the University of New Orleans. I used to go to every class with her. Her father was my paternal figure.

My mother worked in factories worked as a domestic worked in a restaurant always had a second job.

I hate this fast growing tendency to chain men to machines in big factories and deprive them of all joy in their efforts - the plan will lead to cheap men and cheap products.

Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.

Character in the long run is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.

There are old heads in the world who cannot help me by their example or advice to live worthily and satisfactorily to myself but I believe that it is in my power to elevate myself this very hour above the common level of my life.

That's not all our crops can do. We are also learning how to transform plants into factories. We can now raise plants that will create enzymes that would otherwise be created in chemical factories.

I was 17 and just learning what high fidelity was what good sound was and learning the mechanics of tape machines. It was a real education going right from the consumer end to the record factory.

I love the work I love being in front of the camera and working with actors and directors and creating something. For me it's like learning everyday.

I think as an actor you're always learning you're always trying to experience more things.

Yes it is a rehearsed show yes it was analogy of going to see a play at the theatre where everything has to be in place and whole things everything being works all works together to get the best effect you know it's more like an actor learning a part.

I guess confidence is the only thing that I take from project to project but I'm always open to learning everybody's style - the director the actor I'm working with.

My advice to an aspiring actor would be to never stop learning or working for what you want. Nothing comes easy ever if you want something you have to work for it. By working for it I mean work on your craft learn from people who have something to teach. It's just like anything else practice makes perfect.
